Health Check
Make sure that there is no physical reason why
you should not commence a programme of fitness and mobility
rehabilitation, by seeking medical advice
before you start. Health professionals recommend that older individuals
adopt
and maintain a regular physical activity programme in order to prevent
injury
and disease, and to maintain physical independence. It's never to late
to start an exercise programme! Whether you're 25 or 65,cardiovascular
exercise and resistance training can make the difference in the quality
of your life as you age.
Why here?
Research has shown that one of the biggest
reasons older adults do not exercise is intimidation: you don’t know
where or how to start, and the atmosphere in gymnasiums or fitness
centres is overwhelming. If you've been thinking about starting an
exercise regime, delay no longer. 'Fitnwell' has the workout for you!
When you have built up your confidence, then
you can go to the fitness centre and take your 'workout' with you. Or,
having got yourself perhaps a little more confident here, you will be
able to discuss your personal requirements with a little more knowledge.

Delay the Aging Process
Weight gain, loss of strength and bone mineral
density, together with decreased heart and lung efficiency is part of
the aging process. These factors can limit your physical abilities
affecting the quality of your life. Much of the deterioration associated
with aging can be attributed to inactivity. In fact, inactivity is a
high risk factor for heart disease Prevention, then, becomes of
particular importance; use physical activity to limit your risk of
disease and slow your body’s deterioration. The daily benefits of
regular exercise are numerous. Getting out of bed in the morning and
performing daily chores becomes easier. Physical activity relieves
stiff, aching joints and muscles, increases energy, and enhances overall
well-being. Not only will you be able to move without pain, but you'll
feel good too!
Health Check Reminder
Make sure that there is no physical reason why
you should not commence a programme of fitness and mobility
rehabilitation, by seeking medical advice before you start.
